Halloween Ideas: Five-Minute Costumes
There are three kinds of people: those who never spend more than five
minutes on a costume; those who never spend less than five hours; those
who spend five minutes, but make it look like five hours. Here are some
costume ideas that will put you in the latter category.
Ghost: The old standby can be gussied up by painting makeup
on your sheet. If you have an extra sheet and 10 minutes, make a
ghost head out of a separate piece. This way you can remove it when
you want and still look cute in your flowing ghost costume. Interesting Dates
in History
Miss America: Dig out your old formal or prom dress. Now,
find that glitter you bought too much of last Christmas to make
yourself a crown. Make the sash with wide ribbon. Creative variations
include Miss Mars, Miss UFO. Oct. 1, 1971: Walt Disney World
opened in Orlando, Florida, USA.
Pirate: Here are the ingredients: cutoff jeans; big hoop
earring; bandana for head; long wig; rough beard; stripped shirt or
one with big sleeves; fake knife strapped around waist; bottle with
XXX on it.
50s Sock Hopper: Straight tight jeans, loafers, white socks,
side burns, and lots of hairdressing.
Jimmy Buffett: Hawaiian shirt, shorts, parrot on shoulder,
straw hat, and longneck beer. In other words, what you wear in July.
Here’s some Funny Stuff!
The Perfect Hearing Aid
A man was telling his neighbor, “I just bought a new hearing aid. It
cost me $4,000, but it’s state of the art. It’s perfect.” “Really,” answered
the neighbor. “What kind is it?” “Twelve thirty.”
Telling the Sex of a Fly
A woman noticed her husband holding a fly swatter and asked, “Did
you get any yet?” “Yep, 3 males, 2 females,” he replied. “How do you
know?” Three were on a beer can and two were on the phone.”
